Product Information

Celebrating acceptance and being who you really are, this joyful story is about Cliff, the crocodile who wants to wear a dress.

g. with this one mr5 sees nothing wrong with the crocodile in a dress and pearls until the hyenas tell him it’s something not acceptable so the message is kind of lost- and the message actually becomes not everyone will accept you. The author took liberties with bullies who are not native creatures of the swamp but are mean just the same. Lapsen päiväkodissa pojatkin ovat halutessaan saaneet pukeutua prinsessoiksi eikä asiasta ole kukaan ollut mitään mieltä, joten ehkä siksikin krokon hermoilu isänsä mielipiteestä tuntui lapsesta vähän oudolta. Aki-kroko haluaa kokeilla ylleen tyttöjen hepeneitä, pahaksi onneksi muutama hyeena tulee paikalle naureskelemaan. If you want to do something, but you don’t because you’re worried about what people will say then you aren’t good to your own heart.Mietin jopa voiko kirja tehdä liian ison numeron asiasta sellaiselle lapselle, jolle mekkoja pitävät pojat eivät ole juttu eikä mikään.

Other than that, I try my best to draw every day and dream of one day writing and illustrating my own picture book. It provoked some interesting discussion; some boys were certain their parents wouldn’t like them wearing girls’ clothes.

There are, however, some very moving lines: “I just feel happier in heels and don’t you LOVE this dress?

It became evident during the conversation that they had never even considered, for example, a boy wanting to wear a dress, or for that matter, any other challenges to stereotypes.Cannot be overstated: clothes are inanimate objects and do NOT possess genders; therefore, there are no girl/boy clothes.

And despite the rehearsals going badly wrong, on the night of the performance, Dad just loves the show and declares his son Cliff to be star of the night, whispering to his son, ‘May I have my pearls back now?

Of course, it's also a look at inclusion and acceptance and supporting your friends and family to be who they want to be. He tries them on and likes to wear them but his big struggle is whether or not to tell his “motorbike-riding, leather-jacket-wearing” dad – “would his father love him if he saw him in a frock? Cliff the crocodile discovers a slinky frock and some fabulous peals and heels, and just has to try on the outfit. She has also won numerous awards, including the Children's Book Award, the Sheffield Children's Book Award and the Silver Smarties Prize.
